Villa Blu is a high-signal room where startups, industry leaders, investors, and experts come together to explore the frontier of natural innovation.

For Kresko RNAtech, it was a great opportunity to present our platform and our vision for the future of functional ingredients: a new generation of natural, science-backed bioactives powered by bioactive RNAs.

During the Selection Committee, we shared how we’re building a B2B ingredient company for wellness, nutrition, and beauty — combining bioinformatics, AI, and cell biology to discover, validate, and stabilize RNA-based functional ingredients.

Beyond the pitch, we loved connecting with an outstanding group of founders from around the world, and having thoughtful conversations across fragrance, flavors, beauty, nutrition, and natural products.

Thank you to Villa Blu by Robertet and the Robertet Group for the opportunity — and especially to Olivier Maubert, Fabien Giausseran, Philippine Léger Bangratz, Elliott Betito, and Pascale Fança-Berthon for the warm welcome and support.

Excited for the conversations and opportunities ahead.
